The project website has had some updates and changes. The calendar is now live, with details of our upcoming events. The deliverable list has been added, although we still need to produce the deliverables to add to it (hold this space! The first is due soon). The publications are now going up on line, with the first being the recent journal article by Saldana et al. on Small-Packet Flows in Software Defined Networks.

Finally, the project’s Twitter feed is now embedded in the site. Check this out for minute-by-second updates on the project’s progress!

The paper, published in the Journal of Networks, proposes a method for optimizing bandwidth usage in Software Defined Networks (SDNs) based on OpenFlow. For the traffic considered in the paper, improvements of up to 68 % for IPv4 and 78 % for IPv6 are achieved using header optimisation and multiplexing performed within the SDN portion of the network.

The next Wi-5 project meeting will take place on the 16th-17th June at TNO’s premises in The Hague. The meeting will allow the partners to discuss technical developments and plan out the work to be completed over the next period.

The project’s first Operator Board will be held directly afterwards on 18th June. More details about this will be released soon.
